P. ".
The first exercise WAS a class recitation in
singing, reading, spelling and writing from
the primary pupils of the Eaton schools, con-
Quoted by Misses Ressler and Tuttle, which
was quite interesting.
Mr.. j. c. Mcpherson, County Superintend-
ent of Wayne County Ind, was next called on
and responded with many very interesting
and essential thoughts ON "Uniformity ir
Country Schools and Regular Course of Stu
dy." He substantiated his remarks by point
ing out some of the defects in the Indiana
system. His ~allusion to the subject of grada-
tim and the manner in which he explained it
was excellent. He also made plain the all
important point of uniformity of text books.
The incentives set forth to induce the pupil
to earnest work are the outline of a course of
study, the presentation of diplomas, the adj
mission to the State schools. This excellent
exercise was followed with an earnest discus
sion, opened by Prof. F. NJ. DeMotte.
The roll of townships of Preble county were
called to ascertain if each would be represent
ed at the meetings of the Boards of Educa-
ton. respectively, at their regular meetings.

This is the last meeting of this nature for
the year.
The writer had the pleasure of hearing an
excellent talk from Prof. Hodgins of the Rich
mond Normal School. to the people of New
Paris, which was very instructive.
The election passed off very quietly in favor
of the Democratic candidates for Trustee,
Treasurer and Assessor, with large majori-
ties.

A BLAZE !
Frank Jones' Segar Manufacto.
~ Destroyed!
And Elisha SWANS Brick Dwelling

A few minutes after II o'clock noon
Tuesday the cry of fire startled our cit
liens from their homes and places of
business, and directed them to the
north part of our city on Maple street,
to the one story frame building used
and occupied by Frank Jones as a segar
factory, which before much Of a crowd
got to it, was entirely enveloped in a
hot, leaping blaze of fire, and in less
than thirty minutes was swept to the
ground together with a large stock of
leaf tobacco and manufactured segars.
Good work with buckets saved the
brick residence of Mr.. Jones which
stands a few yards on the south side of
the lot where the tobacco building was
standing. On the north side within a
few feet of where stood the destroyed to-
bacco mandatory, is the two story
brick dwelling of Elisha Swain, which
quickly caught fire and before any eff
fectual work by the engine could be put
on it, was so badly damaged as to be an
entire loss except the walls.
Mr.. Jones thinks the fire originated
in the sweating room. Himself and
hands had gone to dinner but had not
been out of the factory to exceed ten
minutes, when the alarm was given and
he turned to see the building complete
ly wrapped in flames. His loss will be
quite sevsre in stock, to say nothing of
his business. He had $500 insurance
on the bhilding and $3.50 on the stock
and fixtures, carried by Messrs. Wat
son and Kelly in the Washington in
surance company, of Boston, Mass
Mr.. Jones' net loss will be about ST.
0OO.0 0 He has the sympathy of all in
his unfortunate adversely.
Mr.. Swain saved the contents of his
house, and had $4,000 insurance on the
building, which will about make him
safe.
